Topic: Small changes in the past few days (Read 7574 times)

I've been fiddling with the forums in the last couple days. I think that after 7 months of doing no programming, no websites, and none of any of that stuff I used to do for a job, I'm starting to slightly miss it. A bit.

Anyways, the changes are minor but I think they add a bit more character to the forums. You can choose the country you live in by editing your profile, and your flag will show up underneath your posts. I did this because I love flags. Also, your gender icon (male or female) will show up beside, just to make the flag look a bit less lonely. If you don't fill out your country or your gender, no icons will appear under your name.

I also added a bunch of new optional profile fields. These will ONLY show up when someone views your profile, not on your posts. They are all completely optional, but it's a way to share more information about yourself if you desire. Extra fields include:- Real Name (because I doubt many people in real life call you RC-110934235... and knowing your first name can make you seem more human)- Occupation (because I'm nosy; if you don't have a job yet, put "student" and/or what you aspire to be)- Xbox Live ID (for gaming purposes)- Xfire Username (for gaming purposes)- Interests/Activities (for rambling on about other things you like... and who knows, maybe there's someone else here who shares your obscure hobby)- Favourite Delta (pretty self-explanatory)- Favourite Omega (ditto)- How did you find Brothers All? (because I'm curious)

I will entertain any suggestions for other fields.

Alright, I will now focus my attention on updating the main clonecommandos site. It'll be nothing huge, but I hope I can get some things updated before I head back to base on Saturday.

*thumbs-up* You've been busy, but I think it's going to work out for the better. Good job.
